An increased number of veterans enrolling at a particular school means that college faculty are more adept at accommodating and supporting those with previous military experience.
The VA reports that there are 51 GI Bill® students at Alaska Career College. Since the total enrollment at the school is 412, approximately 12.38% of the students at Alaska Career College are utilizing the GI Bill® to help pay for their education.
